Dissident 155 Report post Posted August 14, 2020 I personally don't like this overarching theme that still seems to be getting pushed in nz. Lockdown has just made it more obvious too. Many of us prefer to live out of the big cities but then have to commute to and from work, due to a lack of jobs in smaller towns. Also a necessity due to cost of housing eg who can afford to buy a house in Auckland? During lockdown many people worked from home, just as productively, if not more. But lo and behold there is a govt directive that everyone must go back to their inner city offices to support central businesses. Not because it's better for us, or better for LOCAL economies, or better for the environment, but because it supports inner city businesses. Now we can all see clearly the 2 hrs or so daily we waste on commuting backwards and forwards, and what does it gain? In most cases zip. So I agree, Foxton would be a great little hub if investment was directed there. Affordable housing, good for the local economy, jobs for locals or would encourage more to move there. Surely we want to be taking pressure off struggling infrastructure in cities, not adding to it...looking again at Auckland and their water woes as an example.

meomy 971 Report post Posted August 15, 2020 @Dissident Auckland has always had water supply problems and more so in recent yrs bc the idiots covered up all the natural water bores that used to supply us with concrete, tarseal & houses without including "consequences". Many a story abt that history & reports dating back to 1800's in The National Library archives. Then along came the Iwi who with the Auckland Volcanic Cones Society who want Unesco World Heritage status of Volcanic cones registered as the birth place of Maori so removed what could have & should have remained back up Water Reservoirs from them. All those involved have been paid handsomely, Watercare, Iwi & Preferred Archaeologists none of whom are held to account. Join the dots why & where there's now surface flooding on roads & around homes, it goes back to endless CONCRETE as there's limited places where water can naturally disperse into soil and be absorbed.

Yes, I did read an article on the endless concrete recently. All of the above certainly provides a very logical explanation. Also I go there for work on occasion and the local perception around the end of June was certainly that plenty of rain had fallen recently and yet the reserviors were no fuller. The engineer I work with there had also been talking to a watercare engineer, who said when they get water from the Waikato river it has to be treated 10-12 times, and it is still dirtier than what comes out of the sewage treatment plant meomy 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
